Dedicated to the enjoyment of the public from the very beginning, this palace was never Isabella’s house. Rather, it is a Venetian-style palace filled with art, history, and beauty that reflects her rt collecting aesthetic and taste. The house-museum is the world of Isabella Stewart Gardner, the fiery socialite and adventurous spirit who turned her passion for beauty into one of America’s most audacious art collections.
